Other Messages the View System Sends
viewIdleScript
message is used to perform regularly scheduled actions. It is sent automatically for views that have set up idling. To set up idling for a view, call view:SetupIdle(milliseconds),
where milliseconds
is the number of milliseconds before the next idle call. This routine can do whatever processing it desires, but should return the number of milliseconds before the next call to viewIdleScript
. Returning nil
stops idling.
